I cannot figure out what is wrong. Everything I have read on the net and in O'Rreilly's SSH book say I am doing it right, but it doesn't work! Machine - monkey Debian stable /etc/ssh/ssh_config has ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted no Machine - stingray Debian stable kde desktop is running /etc/ssh/ssh_config has ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted no I can ssh from monkey to stingray (and vice versa) When I try ssh -X stingray from monkey, I get Error: Can't open display. In debug mode, I see the following: debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. Linux stingray 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux mark@stingray:~$ echo $DISPLAY mark@stingray:~$ xeyes Error: Can't open display: mark@stingray:~$ exit debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0 logout debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1 Connection to stingray closed. debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 32 bytes in 87.1 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.4 debug1: Exit status 1 FWIW, I can do "X -query stingray" from monkey and get the gdm login and my kde desktop from stingray to monkey. What am I doing wrong?
